To #degree or not to degree? That is the question. Personally I feel for a purely technical role, I don't know that a degree is needed or worth it. I know many organizations don't really care in today's landscapes for certain roles. But what about #Network #Automation roles? A lot of these roles seem to be filled with experienced #software #engineers who know #networking or network engineers who learned software engineering. For those who are network engineers first looking to move into an network automation (development) position, is a software engineering degree useful or is it more important to display portfolio projects? What do the top companies who embrace network automation in this industry actually care about when hiring for these roles? Comment your thoughts below.

I think degrees are required for managerial positions but for most technical positions it’s not really a deal breaker. As long as they self study, build labs, get certifications and overall educate themselves, I believe anyone can get the job that they dream.
